All I know is that the CM commentators are low intellect foreign trash trying to impose what they believe to be their 'superior' opinions.
I avoid reading CM comments religiously.

None.
They're too scared.

That's why we're so unpopular.

Wrong. At least two.

Well, nothing can be done about reader's comments cos there's a disclaimer that the CM may or may not share the opinions expressed.

... and as to the reporting, it is so, so often anti-CY, anti the Republic, unquestionably for Turkish Appeasement, hours and days out of date and against a background of the former colonial power's bias.

Incorrect! The Cyprus Mail has assigned the job of Administrator (IT professional) to somebody on their payroll whose job it is to manage reader comments if they fall out of line in accordance with the law which predominantly covers libel, slander, obscenity, sedition, and so forth.

However, the Cyprus Mail Administrator DOES NOT have the right to remove comments that do not violate any of the above laws but simply state a political opinion that does not agree with that of the Administrator!

In other words they do not have the right to MANIPULATE and FORGE bogus public opinion by silencing the GC community with comment deletions!

This is in fact a serious breaching of the Code of Practice to which the Cyprus Mail is obliged to follow subject to them being licensed to publish a newspaper.

The Cyprus Mail is for pigeon-brains.

How about what that "forum" does? The one that deletes suggestions that the "North" is not in fact another country, and such like. In the guise of remaining "lighthearted" they seem to allow pro-Turkish propaganda (such as how cheap the hotels are in the "North" etc) but delete and ban anything or anyone which reminds people this is an illegally occupied area.

Are they not covered by any code of conduct?

I’m sure Cyprus’ enemies absolutely love shortsighted fools like you helping them shape international opinion in their favor because unlike you they know that the international community reads and forms political opinions in English and NEVER in Greek.
